Evidence & review guide

What does “verified” actually mean?

Each conclusion needs a specific source, check, reviewer and date. A supplied document is not automatically authenticated. Explore how reviews work.

Can I start before I’m export-ready?

Yes. Start with the records you have. Contact the team to agree your product, market, available service and pricing.

Who can see my information?

Supplier profiles are private by default. Buyers see only information approved for buyer access.

What does STIV do?

STIV is the AI guide that helps organise information and explain readiness gaps. Human reviewers remain responsible for assessment conclusions. AI guidance needs checking.
